The story
A teenager stops off to see his dealer to test a new drug before heading off for a night of partying. On the way home, he picks up an injured woman, and the night takes a surreal turn.
What it’s like
Disorienting and paranoid, with a surreal drift that pulls a night out of shape: a teenager's drug-fuelled evening turns into a bad trip, and the world starts to feel unreliable. The tone leans on dread and rising unease, with interruptions from phone calls and a party-night restlessness that keeps tension close to the surface. Violence is part of the experience, so this is not gentle viewing, though the metadata doesn't specify how graphic it gets. It suits a late-night watch when you want something uneasy and strange rather than comforting, and it is for viewers who enjoy horror and thriller films that run on mood and confusion more than on clear answers, and who can handle drug-related disorientation and sudden violence.
